Ori And The Blind Forest
Ubisoft

In 1895 Austria, a princess named Aurora is born to a Duke, who rules over a kingdom of five hills, and his beautiful, yet mysterious wife. After Aurora's mother apparently died, her father eventually remarried. On Easter Eve, Aurora seemingly dies in her sleep, causing the Duke to become bedridden, overcome with despair.

Aurora subsequently awakens on an altar in the land of Lemuria. Upon freeing the Lady of the Forest, Aurora is told of the history of Lemuria. Lemuria was once ruled by the Queen of Light until one night when she mysteriously vanished. From the darkness rose Umbra, Queen of the Night, who sent her daughters to steal Lemuria's light.

The Lady reveals to Aurora that her own world and this one are connected by a mirror that was stolen by Umbra. To be able to use the mirror to go home, Aurora must recover Lemuria's light.

This game is a hand-drawn work of art that art lovers should be flocking to.
